根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題。
     I've always wanted to try rock climbing, but never had time or money for it. But I've discovered a
way to experience the thrill (興奮,緊張) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and exciting way
to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don't climb on
real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms, schools and
camps have one.    
    
     You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually not
expensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing is one
reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush (刺激感) they get.
When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I'm always scared, but once I start climbing, fear
changes to determination. With my heart pounding (心劇烈跳動), I reach the top and look down. I
can't stop grinning. I did it!
     Indoor climbing is a great workout (鍛煉). Climbing uses muscles (肌肉) that are hard to exercise,
especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun.
Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like
climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out (凸出) in places so that climbers must sometimes climb
parallel (平行的) with the floor.
     Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always
climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a
belay device (繩索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how
to use this equipment. And if you are a first-time climber, get some instruction before you begin.
1. Is indoor climbing cheaper and safer than real rock climbing?
                                                                                                             .
2. On what do indoor climbers climb?
                                                                                                            .
3. What are the reasons that make the indoor climbing so popular?
                                                                                                             .
4. Who should always be with you when you climb?
                                                                                                             .
5. What does your partner do as you climb?
                                                                                                             .
6. Which do you think sounds more fun, rock climbing or indoor climbing? Why?
                                                                                                              .
1. Yes, it is.
2. They climb on a plastic wall.
3. One is the convenience of indoor climbing, the other is the rush they get from the climbing.
4. A partner.
5. He/She pulls your climbing rope through something called a belay device.
6. I like rock climbing. Although it's a dangerous sport that requires experience, skill and a cool head,
    I can experience the pleasure of success.

閱讀表達（共5小題，每小題2分，共10分）閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列各題。
The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless of how much this costs. Many also want their children to take extra-curriculum activities (課外活動) where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a better start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend a large amount of money on education. Even poor parents manage to buy a computer for their son or daughter.
In fact, most parents fail to see that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children’s skills are different; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. However, they fail to realize that today's children are lack (缺乏) of self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take exams and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need. They do not teach them to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job step by step. The result, a well--cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence. All these will help the children step to success in the future.
An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and arouse(喚醒) his interest. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teaching a child to read a book. They teach them to think and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.
【小題1】Is the writer satisfied with the Chinese parents’ ideas of educating their children?
                                                             
【小題2】 Put the underlined sentence “the more expensive an education is, the better it is” into Chinese.
                                                             
【小題3】 What are the children lack of today?
                                                             
【小題4】 How is the experience of cooking according to the fifth paragraph?
                                                             
【小題5】 What does the underlined word “They” refer to(所指的是) in the last paragraph?

閱讀短文，根據(jù)要求完成下面各小題。
In the past twenty years, riding bicycles has become more and more popular among people of all ages. ※Bicycles have long played an important part in the liyes of American young people. But today an even greater number of adults cycle along roadsides and bicycle paths. These new riders are often trying to become fit or lose weight. They have found that bicycling is a pleasant way to stay healthy.
This is certainly good for health. But it has also brought some problems. With all these added people on the road, bicycle safety has become a matter of real importance.
Bicycle safety is mostly a matter of common sense. People should ride only on bicycle paths where they will not be badly hurt. There are also a number of rules that riders should follow, especially when riding on streets or highways. Bicyclists should never ride against the traffic, nor should they carry other people on their bicycles. They are also supposed to ride in single line on busy streets and to "walk bicycles across the busy intersections (交叉路口) . ※By following these rules, bicycle riders will not only stay healthy but also be safe.
In one recent year, the National Safety Council reported that 34 thousand bicycle riders were hurt in highway accidents. In that same year, another six hundred riders were killed. Since the introduction of crash helmets (頭盔) in 1980, the number of injuries (傷者) and deaths from bicycling accidents had gone down. Today, more and more riders realize the dangers of bicycling. They are wearing helmets and paying closer attention to cycling rules.

When he was a teenager, Hunter Adams was very unhappy, and he spent many years in the 1960s and 1970s in a special hospital for people with mental health problems.
When he left hospital, Adams decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, in America. But when he was there, he did things in different ways. For example, he didn’t like the doctors’ white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients, and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn’t like Adams very much because he was too different.
Adams believed that people in hospital need more than just medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them, not just as patients, but as people too. He spent a lot of time with children in hospital, and often put a special red nose on his face so he looked like a clown and made the children laugh.
When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital, called The Gesundheit Institute, with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people.
Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1998, Universal Pictures made a film about his life. It was very successful. In the film, Robin Williams played Adams. Williams said, “Hunter is a really warm person, who believes that patients need a doctor who’s a friend. I enjoyed playing him”
